Where is the project located?
The project will be conducted remotely online. Students will not have to go into a physical space to work on the project, as long as they have access to a computer and sufficient internet connection, they should be able to perform accordingly.
How many hours will students be working per week?
This depends on whether the student is working for academic credit or for personal enrichment. If students will be working on this project for school credit, we advise that students discuss with their academic advisors on how many hours they should commit to our project. If students will be working on this project for personal reasons, we will talk with the students and help them determine the number of hours they feel comfortable dedicating to the project.
